I absolutely love some of the tools that Google has to offer. I am a schedule oriented person and cannot function without writing down ever appointment and place I have to be. Especially with three kids, I have to write all our appointments down or I would never remember any of them. The Google calendar is by far my favorite tool that Google has to offer. I put everything on my calendar and it is synced from my computer to my iPhone as well as my iPad. I have set my calendar up to send me notifications to my phone which is extremely helpful to remind me where I need to be. Another tool that Google has to offer that I use a lot is picasa. Picasa is a photo editing tool. I use it a lot when editing pictures that I take for my family and friends. It is user friendly and has a lot to offer for free. I also use Adobe Photo Shop and I can honestly say that I use picasa more. Both Google calendar and picasa can be used in the educational setting. Google calendar can be used to schedule appointments with parents and also to remind the teacher of specials and changes that will occur from the daily schedule. Picasa can be used to create projects and visual aids to place around the classroom to make learning and the classroom in general more appealing. If you haven't tried Google calendar or picasa you should definitely give them a try!
